on earth is there to do here？you consider this question as you sink into an old wooden beach chair that holds you above the sand.it was a long journey from bangkok to huaplee.by the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out，it took almost as long as the flight from falongland.huaplee is located just south of hua hin，about two hundred kilometres from bangkok，down the west side of the gulf of thailand.not many tourists find this place，and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along.theres an apparent laziness that surrounds you here.its what this place offers，and its free of charge.the small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down.you settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest.you sit there and watch the sea.its early afternoon，so the cook comes out and asks what youd like to eat this evening.before long hes rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you orderedevery meal

your blessings (福祉)，listing them in the sand with your toe (脚趾)you dont have to worry about being late for work.you dont have to do anything.the beach to your right stretches off to the horizon (地平线)，slowly narrowing to nothingness only to reemerge again on your left，now steadily widening until it covers the chair beneath you.sand to your left and sand to your right；its unbroken，endless.no start，no end，just sand，sun，and peace.step off it，and you reenter the world of traffic，stress，work，and hurry.normally youre the type who cant sit still for more than ten minutes，but youre on huaplee

cros is in the south of france. i first visited it about ten years ago with my wife. i had read that it was a magical place and it seemed fascinating (迷人的), but i couldnt believe that it was true. in fact, it was much more magical than the tourist brochures (指南) had said.the island is mountainous and covered in trees. the water around the island is transparent like glass. when i first visited it, there was mist rising from the trees. the little harbor looked mysterious and remote: tall palm trees, a few shops and restaurants, no cars, motorcycles or bikes.it is not by chance that the island

some recent reports that say the moon had water at the time of its formation. a group of researchers reports in the journal science that when the moon was created, some 4. 5 billion years ago, there was not much hydrogen (氢气) on it, and therefore no water. the researchers surveyed and evaluated this by analyzing chlorine isotopes found in lunar rock samples from apollo missions. the range of chlorine (氯) isotopes in lunar samples was 25 times that found in samples from earth. “if the moon had significant levels of hydrogen, as earth did, this range would have been far less,” said zachary d. sharp, a scientist in the department of earth and planetary sciences and the studys lead author. “the chlorine would have stuck together with hydrogen, forming compounds like hydrogen chloride, and escaped from the moons surface,”he said. the abundance of chlorine indicates a lack of hydrogen and water. “the amount of water on the moon was way too low for life to have ever have possibly have existed there,” he said. most scientists believe the moon was formed when a large object struck earth, breaking off a chunk (a vast piece) that has since orbited earth. on earth, goes one theory, water was released as steam from molten basalts (玄武岩) over time, eventually forming bodies of water. “an understanding of whether the moon was dry or wet will help us understand how water appeared on earth,” dr. sharp said. 1. a new study indicates thaton the moon. a. there is plenty of water b. water is unlikely to exist c. water existed in the past d. there is a little water now2. the author would like to tell usthrough the sixth paragraph. a. why there is no water on the moon b. how the moon was formed c. when the earth struck the moon d. where the moon orbited 3. what does the underlined word “this” stand for in the second paragraph? a. neither hydrogen nor water on the moon. b. too much chlorine isotopes on the moon. c. not being much hydrogen, no water on the moon. d. more chlorine exists on the moon than earth. 4. which of the following is not true according to the passage? a. zachary d. sharp, a scientist of new mexico was in charge of the new study. b. chlorine isotopes are 25 times in lunar larger than earth. c. the more abundant chloride, the shorter hydrogen and water. d. the new study is beneficial to understand how water appeared on earth. 5. what can we learn from the passage? a. there are enough water on the earth. b. hydrogen chloride easily escaped from the moons surface. c. the earth had significant levels of hydrogen. d. water on the earth is directly from molten basalts. 【参考答案】14、bbcbc阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (a、b、c和d) 中, 选出最佳选项。体裁：议论文话题：健康生活时间：7分钟a new study suggests you are where you liveat least in terms of weight.a rural address could be a risk factor for being overweight，according to the research published in the fall issue of the journal of rural health.the study，led by researchers at the university of kansas，analyzed data from the national center for health statistics.they said it is the first in more than 30 years to use actual measurements of height and weight，rather than selfreported data，which can be unreliable.about 70 million americans，or 23% of the population，live in rural areas.the researchers found that 39.6% of them are obese(肥胖的)，while 33.4% of urban residents are obese.including overweight people as well，the comparative totals are 70.8% and 67.1%，the study said.the factors at work could be the “cultural diet” of rural america，as well as the isolation(隔离) that often exists，said the lead researcher，christie befort，assistant professor of preventive medicine and public health at the university of kansas medical center.that diet includes “rich homemade foods” with lots of meat and desserts，she said.rural americans typically consume more fats than their urban counterparts，the study found.another factor could be the increased mechanization(机械化) of farm work，befort said.older generations showed less difference in weight than younger onesolder farmers would have put in more physical labor，she said.“although some intervention(介入) research has begun to address obesity among rural adults and families，great attention needs to be focused on widespread effective programs in rural areas，which contain some of the largest medically underserved communities in the nation，” the researchers said.【语篇导读】肥胖症的研究有了新的发现居住地也是造成肥胖症的重要因素。39.6%的美国乡下居民患有肥胖症，这与油腻的饮食、农场机械化、落后的医疗服务等有很大的关系。1what do we know about the study about weight in the passage?athe new study is the first study of rural obesity in the past 30 years.bthe new study is the first time to research into the cause of obesity.cresults in the past years can be inaccurate as they havent adopted actual measurements.dthe result of the new study is not reliable at all.解析推理判断题。根据第三段可知，这个研究分析了国家健康中心的数据，是近30年来第一次使用身高和体重的实际测量数据，而不是使用未必可靠的“自我报告的数据(selfreported data)”，从这些信息可推知，过去的研究数据不是很准确，不太可靠。因此选c。答案c2what do we know from the fourth paragraph?athe rural population in america has increased by
